There is one major difference though: last year’s game was an aberration for the Crimson. Apart from a handful of contests last season, Harvard played the full 60 minutes of hockey every night. This season, that has been the exception and not the rule. The Crimson has suffered a number of losses to less-talented teams, including a 3-0 loss to Clarkson at home, a 4-1 face-first fall at RPI, and a season-sweep by Princeton...

Other Montanans who didn’t have the luxury of living in “the city?...
...shoot-out between Indonesian troops and members of the separatist Free Aceh Movement (GAM), who were holding him; in East Aceh, Indonesia. The head of the International Federation of Journalists said the rebels had earlier agreed to free Siregar and his cameraman, but closing the deal fell apart because the military wouldn't allow human-rights organizations in to arrange the release. The military placed the blame on GAM and accused the rebels of using Siregar as a human shield...
